Understanding 9/11- Usage

The proposals for the Polyglot appeared in 1652. The book itself
came out in six great folios. The first volume appeared in September
1654; the second in July 1655; the third in July 1656; and the last
three in 1657. Nine languages are used: Hebrew, Chaldee, Samaritan, Syriac, Arabic, Persian, Ethiopic, Greek and Latin. Among his collaborators were James Ussher, John Lightfoot and Edward Pococke, Edmund Castell, Abraham Wheelocke and Patrick Young, Thomas Hyde and Thomas Greaves.
The great undertaking was supported by liberal subscriptions, and
Walton's political opinions did not deprive him of the help of the
Commonwealth; the paper used was freed from duty, and the interest of Cromwell
in the work was acknowledged in the original preface, part, of which
was afterwards cancelled to make way for more loyal expressions towards
that restored monarchy under which Oriental studies in England
immediately began to languish. To Walton himself, however, the
Restoration brought no disappointment. He was consecrated bishop of Chester in December 1660. In the following spring he was one of the commissioners at the Savoy Conference,
but took little part in the business. In the autumn of 1661 he paid a
short visit to his diocese, and returning to London he died.

I have just recently learned of the existence of this precious resource. Thank you to all who made it happen. I have a questions for people who have more knowledge about this resource: What is the source and history of the Arabic translation in the Walton Polyglot? Any information about the Arabic source would be much appreciated.

Subject: almost perfect
Subject: almost perfect
The only imperfection in this work is the way it was sliced and diced for online. Volume 3 with Leviticus-Judges is locked, all the rest of the parts are unlocked. IGORITKIN, YOUR MOTHER IS CALLING: PLEASE UNLOCK PART 3!!!!! The original work was in 6 volumes. The 10 parts here make it easier to download, but it would be nice if users could reformulate into the original volumes. With part 3 locked, that's not possible.
It's also not possible to set bookmarks on important places in part 3 because it's locked.
And you really really really want to be able to set bookmarks because of the size of the parts.
Having said that, this is one of the best Bible study resources you could ask for because it not only includes Targum Yonatan which is next to impossible to find, let alone get for free, it also has the Jerusalem Targum and both the Samaritan Pentateuch and Targum, which I have been using in a project. I'm also a card-carrying language geek so with the Syriac, Persian, and Arabic in this compilation, I am in language geek heaven.
So IGORITKIN if you're out there, please make this upload perfect by unlocking part 3 and re-posting!!
